Tuesday (January 27th) is International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. The Richmond Symphony will mark the occasion with a Holocaust remembrance concert called “Voices of Survival.”

Sometimes, while pulling together selections for the weekly World Music Show, I like to imagine myself as a tour guide of sorts. A tour guide a sound, if you will. And for this week's show (1/24), my imagination matches most of what we'll be hearing.

This week's World Music Show (1/17/15), will play like an an episode of "When Worlds Collide." After looking over this week's set list, I've noticed that there's seems to be quite a bit of mash-ups going on. From Samba Soul 70s music, to Electronic Tango music, to techno-ish throat singing, the term "When Worlds Collide," will take on a new meaning--and those brief examples are just the tip of the iceberg (or the start of the record, or the first track of the CD or side one of the cassette--ok, enough bad metaphors). I think you get the point.

We hope you’ll join us this week (1/10/15) on Time for the Blues because Henry and I have cooked up something very special for you. Alongside of our normal great music and bad jokes, we’re going to have a little company stop by for a chat.

Once in awhile, it's a good idea to take a trip. You know, get faraway in order to explore a region's culture in order to see the world in a different light and perhaps gain insight on yourself. So, with that in mind, on this week's World Music Show (1/10/15), we'll do just that--just think of the savings!

With the Holidays being (almost) over, I thought that for this week's World Music Show (1/3), we could take it easy---sort of. Mixed throughout the 2-hour show will be some excellent acoustic covers of songs orginally done by David Bowie, Michael Jackson and The Beatles (all of these sung in Portuguese).
